Cardiogeriatric, the Future’s Cardiology?
The aging process and survival of living organisms vary among animal and plant species as well as within the same species. The aging process is partially determined by genetic factors and mutations that can prolong the life of many organisms, including worms, flies, and mice, by delaying this process. Considering that most biological processes are conserved through evolution, genes that are identical or similar to those found in other species can regulate factors associated with survival in humans.
In addition to genetic factors, environmental factors, lifestyle, and disease are also associated with longevity.
